Print Agent BioI have spent the past 19 years honing my skills in service, sales and management. I left a successful career in the world of corporate software sales to pursue a calling that I was passionate about, helping people in the world of residential real estate. A people person, I am motivated by my work ethic, integrity, helping others and exceeding expectations. My personal drive to do right by people coupled with my personal experience in real estate investing led me to my career as a real estate broker, helping clients sell and buy homes in the Portland Metro area. I work with a wide variety of clients including first time home buyers, investors, growing families, downsizers, city slickers and those relocating in or out of the Portland area.
Hailing from New Jersey and along the way calling Santa Barbara, Aspen and Chicago home, I moved to Portland in 2006 in my quest to find the perfect place to live. Portland attracted me for its quality of life infused with a mix of outdoors, city and culture; all the while nestled in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I am infectiously passionate about contributing to my community and ensuring my clients find the good things that life in Oregon has to offer. My philosophy is to understand your situation, priorities and goals to ensure I can be a valuable advisor committed to your success as a home seller or buyer.
To our partnership I will bring an unlimited amount of energy to work tirelessly on your behalf, knowledge of the Portland market to ensure you are making the right decision, a team of experts by my side, experience in managing the many moving pieces of a sales process to ensure a smooth transaction and the ability to think outside the box to make things happen when you just need a little extra something.
Achievements and Designations include:
Kim Borcherding came highly recommended to us and we feel blessed to have worked with her! She's skilled in every aspect of her work and helped us at every turn. In fact, she went far above and beyond when things came down to the wire with the sale of our home! Her knowledge and abilities are surpassed only by her kindness and lovely personality. We recommend Kim to anyone looking for a real "go getter" in an agent.

Kim was such a pleasure to work with. We were not only new to the area but relocating from out of state. Kim was very honest and always concerned about how we felt about the homes we looked at. She was honest about neighborhood's, as far as value, safety, appreciation and overall fit for our family. We felt comfortable voicing all of our concerns and she was always very understanding. If in the future we decide to move, there would be zero hesitation on our part to contact Kim. She is professional, honest, efficient and timely (as well as her assistant, Rebecca). We are very thankful that we had such an amazing experience.

1908 Portland classic loved it immediately! Asked Kim to get me inside to see it, and then the odyssey began. The house was in bankruptcy, being sold as is, with tenants. Add to that my own financing requirements and we had a recipe for a real estate twilight zone. The only way that we got this house was Kim Borcherding! She got the contractors that were required to make mandatory repairs. She maintained a full court press on the listing agent, to make sure this transaction was not relegated to the realm of real estate limbo. Kim was honest and forthcoming about what was going on, and where the deal was going. Throughout the entire process Kim told us we could walk away if we felt something was wrong, or seemed out of place. Most importantly however, she kept her cool and steered us straight into homeowner ship. My family is now living in the house of our dreams because of Kim Borcherding!
